Editorial,

'August' One of the most important month in our calendar as well as Rotary calendar. 'august' means inspiring respect & admire. The month of 'Shravan', full of festivals ,sweets, happiness along with the rains pouring down, is 'Membership Development & Extension' month in Rotary, foundation for any organization to survive.

RC Vishrambag having done exceptionally well in this month has reached new laurels!! Long hunt to have our own space to carry our clubs activity has come to an end by corporation handing over a beautiful land in lush green vishrambag area to develop & use it for community purpose. Hearty congratulations & three cheers to each member of RC Vishrambag.

With new members coming into the club its time to concentrate on our future vision. 'September in rotary calendar is the 'New Generation Month'. Fifth avenue of service, As Rtn Alberta rightly said “Our vision for the future, now more than ever, is the difference between success and failure. Youth are our investment for the future. Let us begin to build that future today.” New Generations Avenue of Service acknowledges the exceptional work that Rotarians do with youth and young adults while encouraging clubs to spread their reach even further, supporting the fundamental idea: that every Rotarian has a responsibility to support the personal and professional success of young people while recognizing the diversity of their needs. After Polio next mission of Rotary is “TEACH” mission.

New Generations Service recognizes the positive change implemented by youth and young adults through leadership development activities, involvement in community and international service projects, and exchange programs that enrich and foster world peace and cultural understanding.

Projects Appreciated by R.I. : A student at Uswathun Hasana Maha Vidyalaya in Galle, Sri Lanka. This is one of 20 schools rebuilt through the Schools Reawaken project after the 2004 tsunami. The tsunami killed more than 30,000 people and displaced over 850,000 in Sri Lanka alone. District 3220, The Rotary Foundation, and Standard Chartered Bank supported the effort.

Dear fellow Rotarians,

Yours,

2014-15 president,

Rotary International

When I see the work Rotarians do, I am always

impressed, always excited, and always inspired. When

I see the work of our New Generations, I am all of this

– and frequently I am surprised as well. Not by the

quality of their work – for I have learned to expect

great things from them – but by the creativity and

ingenuity of their thinking. I look at what they have

done and think not just "What a great job!" but "What a

great idea!" Because every generation sees the world

in a unique way, and every individual has a unique

point of view. Faced with the same problems, we

arrive at different solutions. This is why, in Rotary, our

diversity – of culture, language, expertise, gender, and

age – is our strength.In Rotary, we try to take the long view in our service. We aspire to serve in ways that will make a lasting difference, that will continue to have an impact after our participation ends. Our younger generations, in my experience, share this sentiment, and apply it globally, by focusing on environmental issues in new and innovative ways. When I became a Rotarian, environmental issues were barely on our radar. To young people today, these concerns are front and center. Their perspective is a valuable contribution to the world of Rotary service, and it is one that we should all encourage and support. Just as they are learning from us, so should we be learning from them.The young people who are serving in Rotaract and Interact, and participating in Youth Exchange and RYLA today, are the Rotarians of tomorrow. When we support them, we are supporting the future of our entire organization. We are helping to train the men and women who will be the club presidents, district governors, RI directors, and RI presidents of tomorrow.

ROTARACT CLUB OF KYIV, UKRAINE

Taras Mytkalyk started a Rotaract club as a way to get things done in his hometown of Kyiv, Ukraine. In the past year, his club raised money for an animal shelter, collected clothes for needy children, and visited a nursing home to boost the spirits of elderly residents. Members also gathered for poker nights, cookouts, and holiday parties.Mytkalyk believes in giving everyone in the club the opportunity to lead. Identifying a community need and finding a solution is empowering to members—and can have a noticeable impact. "Young people in Ukraine are attracted to this movement because they see the results of their work," he says. "There's no need to wait for somebody's approval or to go through bureaucratic procedures—they can just go out and do good, while having fun along the way."

: Students prepare to scale the climbing wall at the 2009 Rotary Youth Leadership Awards weekend held by District 6450 in Williams Bay, Wisconsin, USA. More than 80 students learned more about Rotary International and participated in activities that develop skills such as team building, problem solving, leadership, and communication.

communities. Rotary International has a long and successful history of providing service to youth. Each year, more than 250,000

young people participate in Rotary International youth programs such as Interact, Rotary Youth Exchange, and RYLA. In addition, many club and district mentoring programs, immunization efforts, job training programs, literacy projects, and other initiatives are designed specifi cally to help young people.

Working with organizations to hold career fairs? Holding AIDS/HIV awareness campaigns at colleges and universities? Cleaning and repairing bicycles to be donated to disadvantaged children?
